Sony has confirmed in an interview with DPReview that the Sony A7S II successor is finally going to be coming later this summer. It seems, though, that Sony is shifting the focus of the camera, slightly. It’s still expected to be the video-centric powerhouse that A7S II users have come to know and love, but it’s had a complete redesign.

According to the interview with Sony VP, Kenji Tanaka, that redesign includes an entirely new sensor and a theoretical A7S III may include features such as 4K60p, 10-Bit (finally!) 4:2:2, and possibly even raw video.

Sony responds to “too small” E mount claims. Says they can produce f/1.0 lenses, but won’t

After statements by Leica that the Sony E mount wasn’t designed for full frame and Nikon’s claim of theoretical f/0.65 lenses with their new Z mount, Sony is now fighting back.

In an interview with Amateur Photographer, Senior General Manager of Sony’s Digital Iimaging Business group, Kenji Tanaka states that mount diameter doesn’t matter and that they could produce an f/1.0 lens. But they just don’t think it’s worth the hassle.
